Overview

The City of Mountlake Terrace Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Commission (DEIC) was created in August of 2020. The seven (7) member DEIC has a mission of promoting and embracing diversity through action, education, and guidance. The Commission seeks to foster an understanding that includes, accepts, respects and appreciates each individual member of our community.

Being a new Commission, the initial terms are staggered, with subsequent appointments having a term of three years. Therefore, three (3) of the initial terms will expire on June 30, 2022 and four (4) of the initial terms will expire on June 30, 2023.

Police Department Policy Manual
The Mountlake Terrace Police Department Policy Manual is the product of our effort and collaboration with Lexipol, which is a nationally-recognized firm, that provides public safety policies. As part of Lexipol’s program, we regularly refresh our knowledge of these policies through updates and answering questions when we log on to computers as we begin our shifts.

These policies are continually reviewed to reflect all legal updates and best practices throughout the law enforcement profession.
